The 'Fifty Shades Darker' Trailer Is Officially Here

Few things can inspire internet pandemonium like a piece of 50 Shades Of Grey news. If you're one of the many fans counting down the seconds until 50 Shades Darker premieres on February 10, 2017, here's something to tide you over: The movie's first teaser has finally dropped. It's obviously full of the sex that hooked people the first time around, but now the drama is amped up to astronomical, soap-opera levels.

The trailer starts off with fireworks, just in case you didn't understand that this movie is basically all about orgasms. Then it invites you to "forget the past and slip into something a shade darker." All right! As the trailer progresses, even those unfamiliar with the movies will get a picture of what's going on. Anastasia Steele, played by Dakota Johnson, and Christian Grey, played by Jamie Dornan, are becoming increasingly romantically entangled, constantly breaking up then making up in an X-rated fashion. They also go sailing at one point because apparently even sex dramas need a dose of innocent, all-American sport.

Later on, you get glimpses of the two hooking up underneath one of those rainforest showerheads I would sell a kidney for, plus Christian doing some shirtless pull-ups that honestly make the trailer entirely worth watching. "Intrigued?" Christian asks Anastasia while they're staring at each other in a mirror at one point. Yes, Christian, I am, but not for the reason you'd think: I'm in the market for some smudge-proof lipstick, Anastasia's wearing a beautiful berry shade, and given that you two are always having sex, I'm sure she'd have excellent recommendations.

As you'd suspect based on the movie's name, beyond all that sexiness, there's a dark side to the trailer. Vaguely threatening new characters pop up, and one particularly worrisome woman asks Anastasia if she really thinks no one else has tried to save Christian's tortured soul. Below, a few choice moments from the trailer:
